Thanks for all the well-wishing on the occasion of my brother's birthday. Seems

getting an Xbox 360 for his birthday, which would allow us to play Rock Band
together. Watch out, here come the Blue Brothers.

Happy VE Day! Okay, that's not one so many people commemorate anymore, but what

how old he is, but since he's my younger brother, that one would sort of
